Friends....are quite simply....overated. IMO. Too have many friends would be hell for me. I have a couple of close friends and that is enough for me. And another thing, we all have that feeling that everyone else has it 'figured out' and are social butterflies...yes they exist but not many at all! Do not judge your life based on others. Judge your life on what makes 'you' happy. There is no rule that says you must have 50 friends to be a worthwhile person. I once had alot of pp around me and I hated it...the more ppl I had, the more crap that came with it so I gradually changed my playground and I find that the friendships that I have now have grown stronger because of it...as I now have more time for the ppl that mean something to me.
